Do you RENT or OWN your own home?

[Mum2Romone]

Just a quick question for everyone out there.....

And how much do you pay a week?

[PollyA]

New to mortgage land in WA-ouch.We might "own" a few bricks by nwo.
$500/week. That was the low end of the market.

[Ahurani]

Own. Dp pays 280 a week which is more than he should pay

likewise! I feel that not having a stress that the landlord might call for an inspection worth the extra though!

[ss_storm]

rent - $250/week but it is worth much more than that!

Would love to own our own house but TBH the thought does scare me a bit, means you're kind of tied to that house, that town..don't know if we're ready to really settle where we are!

[Twin Sister]

own - I live in a very small town in North Western Canada so this may not be relevant but our mortgage is $1000 (CAN) a month.

[LimeSlice]

We rent from the bank


We pay about $710 f/n on a $220K loan.

[~Gee_Whizzy~]

Well we have a mortgage, so don't "own" the house as such and we pay $943 per fortnight.

[Fleur]

Rent. We pay $340 a week for a 3brm townhouse which is waaaaay too small but I am iffy about paying $100 a week more for another bedroom

[Heaven]

Rent! $330 a week for a 3 bedroom house in a nice area.

[Emma09]

The bank owns our home, and sometimes it feels like they own us too!
We pay $1100 a fortnight, I think the min repayment is $900 a f/n.
Hoping the interest rates stay down!

We have two houses. Pay about $160 a week but most of that is offset by rent on one of the houses.
Soon we'll have three houses, will pay about $280pw and all of that will be offset by rent on two of the houses.

If we wanted to rent out house #3 it would cost us over $300pw so I think getting it for basically free is a good deal ...

Catch is we're marginal borrowers so we're still scraping up the deposit for the third

Renting. $280/week for a tiny three bedroom place. It suits us, but if we have more children we will need somewhere bigger.

Mortgage - we pay about $1800 a month (actually we couldn't rent our house for that so we are pretty happy)

When I was with XP we paid $320 a week rent for an old 3 bedroom house in an average suburb. Very close to beach though.
Now I rent with a 'friend' and we pay $280 a week for a renovated 3 bedroom flat in possibly the worst suburb in Perth, and is almost in te hills (25 min drive to CBD which is far for Perth).
In 2 weeks I'm moving in with my parents gonna be paying $200 a week but it's going off the 7k I owe my dad so effectively I'll be getting rent food and bills free whilst paying off my loan

We currently rent in a sharehouse in yarraville, $150 p/w so nice and cheap, but it IS a sharehouse and not that nice lol We'll be moving in the coming months, staying in the same area because it's lovely, looking at two bedroom flats or townhouses for $250 p/w.

[Liz]

Renting. $360 p/w. A mortgage would mean I would have to work.. and it's important to us that I stay home with the kidlets
